There she goes again...
While we realize that professional politicians like Sue tend to say things they know that people want to hear, her posturing on gas prices seems above and beyond her usual antics. Last week, for example, Sue put out this press release touting a bi-partisan plan to do something about the high cost of gas. Though Sue's release made it seem like she was leading the charge, she was actually one of the 67 co-sponsors.
Meanwhile, on Thursday, Sue voted against legislation that would have removed subsidies and closed loopholes for large oil companies -- the very same companies that are reporting record profits right now. What's particularly shameful here is that Sue's posturing -- remember that taypayers pay for her fill-ups, so she's not feeling the heat -- comes at a time when the rest of us are paying around $3.25 for a gallon of gas.
